Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections

Open Access
|Aug 2022

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance following in vitro testing for sensitivity of isolated bacteria from uncomplicated urinary tract infections.

We analysed all results for all urine culture tests performed in a two months period, retrospectively analyzing medical record from one laboratory.

We identified E. coli in 71.4% of the positive cultures, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermitis. We identified 100% resistance of Gram negative bacteria in antimicrobials such as Cefuroxime and Ticarcillin. Fosfomycin and Amikacin provided good results, with high percentage of susceptible results.
